Assessments in der Ergotherapie

Assessments in the Occupational Therapy Process

To design the occupational therapy process in a client- and activity-centered manner, occupational therapists need meaningful assessments that help them gather information about their clients' activity profiles, concerns, and performance. The phase of (re)evaluation requires the targeted selection and implementation of assessments. It is also essential to correctly interpret the data obtained and use it for the ongoing treatment process.

How can suitable assessments be selected? What information do they actually provide for the occupational therapy process? The editors and authors shed light on important backgrounds and trends related to assessments with their expertise, describe possible approaches in various specialized fields, and provide tips and recommendations for selection and implementation.

With this specialized book, the editors and authors encourage reflection on the approach to (re)evaluation, to further develop it in light of current findings, and to actively shape the discourse in occupational therapy. An overview of relevant assessment tools concludes the book, which can be downloaded after registration.
